PREACHING FROm OUR PULPITS

Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. – Luke 8:1

Do you bring Jesus with you wherever you go? In whatever context you are in — whether at home, school or work — does your life preach and proclaim the Good News? Many times we forget that our lives are living, breathing and tangible representations of the Gospel.
Once, one of my graduate school friends had to absent herself from class because her son was sick. Our professor had given us a paper which was due the next meeting. I tried to help my classmate by sending her text and e-mail updates of what went on in class, and by faxing her a copy of the task sheet our teacher had distributed. Afterwards, she sent me a text saying, “Thank you. You are a breath of fresh air to people like me.”
I didn’t think I did anything spectacular to deserve such a nice compliment. All I did was extend a helping hand, and offer small acts of kindness.
We often don’t realize it, but we can bring Jesus to other people even in the little things we do. Our daily lives are our pulpit. Let us preach well.Cess Cosico

REFLECTION:
Are you a blessing or a burden to other people? Let us all pray for the grace to become blessings to other people.

Lord, let me preach with my life.
